“Try and take a warm shower,” Richard instructed her.

Angela nodded and headed in the direction of the bathroom. He’s such a simple man, she thought as she pursed her lips and smiled in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at the water glass and electric shaver.

The sound of Angela taking a shower was clearly audible in the room, and it distracted the man reading a book. Finally, he ended up putting down his book and rubbing the spot between his brows. At that moment, his cell phone pinged, and he received a notification of a text message.

Richard took his cell phone and glanced at it. Before he even looked at it, he had a rough idea of who it was. It was from Annie, who had recently sent him more than three text messages daily. The gist of her message was to confess her love for him and express her expectant feelings to meet up as soon as possible. Even though he didn’t respond to that, her enthusiasm was not dampened. Right now, there was indeed a text message from her.

“Richard, are you busy at the moment? I had a dream today, and you were in it. I was delighted. Could you send me a photo of you? I realize that I’ve nearly forgotten how you look.”

He was looking at his cell phone screen when he heard a sound from the bathroom. Angela was opening the door. Instantly after that, he made a silly gesture of flinging it aside. He threw his cell phone to the pillow on the couch by his side, swiftly picking up the book he had just put aside to read.

Angela came out of the bathroom, and she caught a glimpse of him from behind as he sat quietly on the couch, reading a book. She put on her robe and walked in his direction.

Her long hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and her soft hair was too hard to keep in place, so some loose was strewn around her flawless, milky-white face. She seemed to give out a charming aura all of a sudden.

She was slightly thirsty, so she looked at the pot of tea he had brewed on the table and asked directly, “Can I have some of your tea?”

Richard nodded slightly, so she happily clutched onto his mug and drank the hot tea. At that moment, she felt as if life was perfect. She held his mug and observed him while sipping slowly.

He could feel her lovely eyes locked on his face and body. She appeared to regard the man in front of her as if he were a perfectly sculpted statue.

He felt uneasy with how she looked at him, as indicated by his handsomely unsettling facial expression. Eventually, he could not endure it and put down the book to ask with narrowed eyes, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“I enjoy staring at you,” she said with a generous smile.

At that moment, Angela heard the notification of a text message coming from behind the pillow she leaning on. She lowered her head to search for it, and at the same time, she reached out to grab the black cell phone. However, a strong masculine body pressed against her at that moment, startling her.

As soon as she regained her composure, she was half-lying on the couch with Richard on top of her. Furthermore, when she was caught off guard, he had already grabbed his cell phone, which she held in her hands.

She was momentarily dumbfounded, but then she realized that he had given such a massive response because he wanted to grab his cell phone. Could it be that he has a message on his cell phone that he wants to keep hidden from everyone?

After all, she couldn’t look at it because he had a password set up. However, she was perplexed as to why he reacted so. His reaction mirrored the actions of someone who had something to hide.

Angela sat up with resentment on her beautiful face and stared at him with lovely eyes. “What made you react so badly earlier?”

“I’m sorry.” Richard had an unsettling expression on his handsome face. He had indeed reacted inappropriately earlier.

“Was it a text message from a girl?” she asked and her gaze fixed on him.

He firmly denied it, “No.

She was then convinced that the message was sent by a girl. Suddenly, she became agitated. Who sent him that text message? Captain Lloyd, it appears that you have a large number of admirers. Where do I rank on the list? She laughed at herself.

Richard checked his wristwatch for the time and saw that it was eight-thirty. He murmured, “You should return to your room and get some rest.”

Angela crossed her arms in front of her and made it clear that she was not going anywhere. I’m not sleepy yet.”

He glanced at her with a slightly resigned expression. He realized he couldn’t talk sense into this woman when she was being stubborn.

“Are you being pursued by another girl?” She was tenacious in her refusal to change the subject.

However, Richard was hesitant to respond to her question. Furthermore, he didn’t want her to know that the girl in question was her cousin, Annie. Nonetheless, he was adamant about. breaking off the engagement. He wasn’t worried that what he did might hurt his

grandpa’s reputation and planned to go through with what he had decided. After all, he didn’t want to jeopardize Annie’s future. He had never thought about his future with the girl in front of him because he had no intention of marrying in this life.

Angela realized that he had not responded to her question since the start, and she felt quite dejected. She continued to take sips from his mug of tea, but suddenly, she choked on it.

“Cough… Cough…” She clutched her chest. in discomfort as she coughed hard. The choking sensation she felt was very uncomfortable for her.

At that moment, she felt a large hand. gently pat her on the back, and she finally managed to catch her breath. Her face was flushed from all the coughing, and she felt Richard’s hand touch her. forehead at that moment. She was quite angry, so she smacked his hand aside abruptly.

“I don’t need you to show any concern, Captain Lloyd.” She angrily turned her back on him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Angela turned her back on him. clearly expressing her displeasure.

She suddenly heard him sigh, and he explained in a low voice, “The person who sent me the text message is the girl my Grandpa is trying to set me up with, but I have no feelings for her.”

Angela turned her head back to him, her eyes widening in astonishment. “Do you have a fiancée?”

“She’s just a girl I met once,” Richard emphasized.

Angela, however, felt a sharp pain in her chest because, in his grandpa’s eyes, that girl was already his fiancée, even though. they had only met once.

“Are you going to marry her?” She couldn’t stop the jealousy that welled up within her.

“No.” He shook his head with a determined look in his eyes.

“So, what’s your plan?” Angela seemed to be intent on pursuing the topic to get an answer.

Richard didn’t look the least bit annoyed. He gave her a solemn look before responding, “Once I’ve completed my mission to protect you, I’ll speak with Grandpa about breaking off the engagement. I will personally apologize to the girl’s family.”

“Aren’t you worried about hurting the girl’s feelings?” She sighed and felt sympathy for his fiancée.

He remained silent for a few seconds. Angela has no idea that her cousin Annie is the girl she’s referring to.

“Stop being upset because I can handle my own problems perfectly.” Richard no longer wanted to talk about this matter. He was willing to explain things to keep her from overthinking and becoming upset.

She came to her senses and realized how easily her jealousy could be triggered. She blushed at that moment. “Alright, I’ll stop being upset.”

There was a knock on Richard’s door, and Angela quickly inquired, “Is that Trevor and the others?”

He went to the door to answer the knock: just as he had only pushed it open halfway, Angela heard Ariel’s voice coming from the outside. Ariel said, “Hi, Captain Lloyd. I was wondering if I could use your shower if it’s okay with you.”

Her voice was sickly sweet and flirtatious; it was definitely a seductive tone.

Angela’s lovely eyes dilated as she wondered, What?! Is Ariel planning on taking a shower in Richard’s bathroom?
